Dental treatment under general anesthesia
Dental treatment under general anaesthesia
General anesthesia, (so-called GA), or deep sleep, is used in dentistry for painless surgical intervention during placement of dental implants, bone augmentation, gums plastic surgery, or in complicated cases of teeth treatment. An innovative modern approach in teeth treatment under general anesthesia is a qualified experienced personnel + modern equipment + proven treatment guidelines.
We offer only advanced approaches.
Your life and health are in the reliable hands of professionals!
Our team of anesthesiologists-reanimatologists is our pride!
The role of an anesthesiologist is of great value. This specialist selects the type and dosage of medicines for each patient individually, prepares the patient for anesthesia or sedation (medication sleep is a type of anesthesia), monitors the state of health and important physiological parameters of a patient throughout the procedure.
Meerhof Dental Center has a team of top-level professionals, leading experts from the Regional Emergency Medical Care Center. Besides, they have experience in foreign clinics.
Guidelines for teeth treatment under anesthesia
We use a developed in detail, verified set of measures, which includes a sequence of actions to be undertaken by anesthesiologist and doctor, high-quality medicines, and professional equipment.
Anesthetic drugs that are used nowadays are called “smart”. Their impact, the duration of anesthesia can be forecasted and controlled by an anesthesiologist. The patient is under general anesthesia as much as necessary for a surgical procedure or teeth treatment.
Anesthesia is introduced with an injection. Immersion in deep sleep is fast. Anesthesia passes away within 10 – 20 minutes. During this time, the patient is in the room for recovery. You can leave the clinic within an hour after awakening.
